Do tandem drives not normally wear out the RR tires first? Followed by the LR, LF and the RF last?
If you watch trucks turn sharply in the parking lot, especially bobtail, do they not tend to pivot on the front drive and scrub the rears as stated?
Right side tires all wearing out first due to road conditions cannot explain the RF drives wearing the least.
Have you ever noticed on even looking surfaces the RR and LF often tend to spin first?
Did you ever notice the front drive pinion gear is on the left side of the ring gear. The rear drive pinion is on the right side of the pinion, same as a car.
I know it starts sounding like hip wader time but it is hard to explain and understand things we cannot see.
Studying things like yaw sensors in new cars and how it effects aircraft kind of opens up those thought waves. How can a wing create lift and two guys with a bicycle shop make one that worked?
This is more of a centrifugal force and transfer of torque through the spider gears issue. That is why one side is favored over the other under high torque. That is to the best of my understanding at this time.

This is the path of power with the power divider unlocked. This same diagram comes from EATON so if you want to call them up and argue it with them, go right ahead. -
